There are some Finnish guys that I play hockey with, and they think Barkov is the best Finnish player since Teemu.

I don't know how the SM-Liiga of today compares to older Finnish leagues, but the box scores back that up (ie better numbers at his age than Jokinen, Koivu, etc).

I think he has the best chance of this year's class of becoming a franchise player.
